Manor ISD Superintendent Dr. Royce Avery, with support from the Manor ISD Board of Trustees, will be going into the community in January to spread the word about the exciting plans he has for Manor ISD Middle and Elementary School campuses.

Dr. Avery will present information on the forthcoming Manor New Tech Middle School, as well as plans to transition Decker Middle School into a fine arts academy that also serves as an AVID Demonstration school, and information on Manor Middle School becoming an International Baccalaureate certified school.

On the elementary level, Manor, Presidential Meadows, and Bluebonnet Trail will seek the International Baccalaureate designation; Lagos, Pioneer Crossing, ShadowGlen, and Blake Manor will become New Tech Team schools; and Oak Meadows and Decker Elementary will become fine arts academies as well.

Times, dates, and locations are below. The tour will visit different areas of Manor and includes several dates and times in an effort to accommodate as many people and schedules as possible. Anyone who has questions or is interested is encouraged to come to a meeting, or those unable to attend can e-mail communication@manorisd.net.
